Chain Reaction Voting....Head to head!
-
27 Nov 2006Well, it looks like this round there are only 2 contenders...and I must admit, that this challenge was more difficult than I originally anticipated!
So...here goes!
Because there are only 2 entries, voting will be super easy. Just write whose entry you liked the best (ie...write ONE name in your post), and at the end of the voting (I'll give it about a week)...we'll tally up the names and see whose got more votes.
Entry1 : Aaron:

Entry2: Tyson:

mechis 520 posts27 Nov 2006I vote for Aaron b/c I liked how complex his rube goldberg was... and the complexity was not productive at all.... haha....
(I thought Tyson's was prettier though... kudos to you too!)

mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts27 Nov 2006>< hard to choose but i think i am going with arone's as mechis said too complex for the task. but Tyson dude wow that is so good specially all the sound and render i can tell u worked hard (wonders how many cafe mugs u drank that day to finish it)
congrats to both and i think in the future we should have more time to finish ours cause i couldn't -
El Zilcho 7 posts27 Nov 2006My vote is for Tyson's because of pure entertainment....
Aarons I feel was longer, and not really *more* complex...
Tyson FTW
But good job to both... -
27 Nov 2006Tyson, his looks like it should be on tv, but Aaron is totally second, even if there was more people lol, but yea guys, both great job.
-
27 Nov 2006I had a quick play myself to see if I could do something fast for this challenge... No luck, its something that has to be thought out properly and worked on with great determination.. You both have outstanding animations + simulations!! Congratulations to you.
As for picking a winner..... I couldnt, Tysons is 100% brilliance as far as entertainment + production value whereas aaron's was 100% brilliance to me as far as simulation... so I put the two names in a hat.... and the mystery fortune falls apon...
Aaron

Swatje 19 posts27 Nov 2006I vote tyson, cause of the prettiness... but damn that's a close second... hard to choose.
-
27 Nov 2006i definatly vote tyson, i know that you put a lot of work into this aaron, but i think your need a little more ction, or need to be a bit faaster, cause at some point it can get verylong.
the visual level in your anim T is incredible as i said on your topic, your simulation not only looks cool but it has a "story" and the idea behind it, it's increibly well thaught. congrats T
so yea my vote goes to T, just to make his trophy collection bigger...
oh and i just had an idea, how about having the challenges by skills just like in the maxscript workshop, like we have 3 levels, begeinner, intermediate, and advances, depending how people feel they pick the one they want, so ifthey dont have much time, they pick the simple one that way they still have an entry
then for the voting, we put them together in the same big hat. to determin the winner, biginner could be like 3 point, intermediate 2 point and advanced users 1 point, then we add them up and see who wins, that way there would be more enteries and more comp. that's just my one cent thought, what do you guys think? (do you even think after such a complicated pharagraph?
) -
27 Nov 2006Thats an idea, since I'm a noob!
-
27 Nov 2006Wow that's a tough call. Both simulations kick major ass, i think im going to lean over towards Aaron's because there was a little more stuff going on in it than Tysons idea - but, Tyson's had a story to tell which i really liked. So yeah - i vote for Aaron, good job man.
-
27 Nov 2006Very tough call... they are both fantastic.
I think...
I think I'll go with Aarons though - just because it is that little bit longer, more effort on random non-productivity, which I feel was more the point of the exercise. But it was a very close call... entertainment kudos to T. Good job both! -
27 Nov 2006i've got to give this one to T. the weight and movement of everything was quite convincing, fantastic camera movement, the sound fx fit so well, and the music puts it over the top. great work!
but aaron, wow, yours was fantastic too! -
28 Nov 2006Oh damn, it sucks to even have to choose between the two
First of all, awesome job both! It's said a couple of times before, but it's a damn close finish!
With Tyson's animation it's the complete picture I like, models, materials and lighting. Looks like you really put in the time to make it look like a finished short.
With Aaron I think it was more a Rube Goldberg you can do at home, which is really cool. You've used a lot of Reactor elements and made a very long animation with it. Props!
In the end it was wow vs. WOW so I chose for the WOW.
My vote goes to Tyson. -
28 Nov 2006Hot dang this is going to be a close vote!!!!!
My vote goes to Aaron of course
...great job buddy! You got a full minute of animation pumped out, all of which is fantastically put together! I had a hard enough time getting my 20 seconds of simulation to work properly...can't imagine how much work you put into yours, which is three times longer! -

28 Nov 2006Tyson, yours indeed rocked.... but I'm going with Aaron on this one mainly because of how thought out it is and all the hard work put into it! (I saw him in his isomiac stage at school, poor guy...)
But yeah great job, these really inspire me to make an effort to compete in the next challenges! Looking forward to it. -

Edit: Link is changed on the other thread but not this one.
I vote Aaron! I really enjoyed the complexity of the machine and how he managed to put it into a scene with the magazines and all. Good stuff
-
30 Nov 2006Thanks JayG...fixed the link.
-
30 Nov 2006@hype...haha...I hear you dude! It took me SOO LOOONG (relatively) to get the ball to fall in the little cart properly....because the cart's kickoff is depending on the ball hitting the windmill thing at the right moment, and vice versa.....i still have clumps of my hair stuck between my fingers, and a dandy new group of bald spots!
-
30 Nov 2006My vote goes for Aaron.... My favorite is the Tyson one, i really like the camera works and the rendering (and it's useless to say: the dynamics too)...
But well Aaron's deserve this prize, reaaaaly long, somes funny ideas, and a really cool simulation....and just because he is the only human to have finished this mini-challenge
wooooo
Congrats to both of you
-
30 Nov 2006haha tyson... Goul just called you a frog!!!
-
30 Nov 2006wow guys I really am impressed w/both of the pieces you did, should of finished this one but I been so busy lately I just could not. (not that it would of compared).
Aaron's work was superb but lacks the animations skills tyson holds on all of us.(camers.lights action..etc.) so...........
the best animation to me would be tyson 1, Aaron's 2
Both are Great works of art. I wish more of use lame ducks would have done it too
Great work dudes

30 Nov 2006Man, both of these are awesome!
In terms of overall entry, I'm gonna go for Tyson. Great concept, amazing overall polish. But if we were voting just on the simulation, I think I'd vote for Aaron - that was extremely complex and really, really well done. Crazyyy. You guys are crazy!
Man, that's a tough call.
